I have mixed feelings towards summer. I work in the south, in an office building in which my thermostat doesn't work half the time and to walk outside requires a shower. Meanwhile, I find myself "flipping" through hundreds of "summer fun" photos each day...children laughing, sprinklers, playtime at the pool and carnivals. Part of me wishes that I could be a child again so that I could enjoy a "summer vacation," but those days have long passed. The other part of me is dreaming of autumn, of cooler temperatures and our annual state fair.

When I saw clare.R.armstrong's photo, I immediately imagined being at the fair and dove into my October archives. Just because I have mixed feelings towards summer, doesn't mean that I should wish my time away. Look at the bright side, at least we have more hours of daylight...right?

I so love carnival photos, and these two are gorgeous. And I LOVE the warm (okay, hot) days of summer. I get out as much as possible and try to store up that warmth to get me through the long cold winter months.
